Autobiography - Sloan

I’m writing 'young and gifted' in my autobiography

I figure who would know better than me?

I’m certainly the former

But I’m not so much the latter

But no-one's gonna read it

So I’m sure it doesn’t matter

When you find that you’re the former

Take pride in how you form

And when you find that you’re the latter

Don’t let those people walk under you

I’m writing 'sharp and adult' with my finger on the steam

On the mirror in my bathroom

And I’m applying shaving cream

Which could suggest that I’m the foamer

But how can I be the lather?

And something tells me it’s the opposite I’d rather

When you find that you’re the foamer

Be careful what you foam

And when you find that you’re the lather

Don’t shave too high, you’ll regret it later

La la la la la

La la la la la la

La laaa laaaa la la la

La la la la

I stayed in school this long but still no-one will tell me why

They figured 'who would know better than I?'

I know I’m a conformer, but I’m sure it doesn’t matter

My new friends are all adults

And my old friends all have scattered

When you find that you’re a conformer

Take pride and swallow whole

But if you’re trying to climb the ladder

Don’t let people walk over you

Because that’s just what they’ll do

And don’t let people walk over you

Because that’s just what they’ll do
